Recently named the voice and spokesperson for the Air Guard’s new major advertising campaign, Bryna recently filmed the video for a new song she co-wrote, “Hometown Heroes,” which honors Air Guard men and women who answer the call of duty to serve their communities and country. The song will become the official theme song of the Air Guard’s year-long radio and television ad campaign, meant to educate men and women about this branch of the military that supports the needs of the U.S. Air Force, aids communities in times of crisis and supports the nation’s Homeland Defense Department.   The Air Guard’s unique dual mission involves response to emergencies both state and nationwide. When natural disasters hit a state, the Governor (or appropriate official) relies on the Air Guard to save lives, rescue neighbors and deliver critical supplies to those in need. Additionally, the Air Guard is relied on for federal missions, answering the President’s call for overseas humanitarian aid or support of our nation’s Homeland Defense Efforts. Currently, there are over 140 Air Guard units in the United States and its territories.   “The 2008 Indianapolis Air Show is extremely excited about having the first concert at the show this year!” said Robert Duncan, executive director of the Air Show. The 2008 Air Show will feature fun for the entire family, including the 50th anniversary NASA “Journey to Tomorrow” exhibit, wingwalkers, stunt planes, a hot air “balloonathon,” Warbirds and additional military exhibits.  The show is a charity event, with net proceeds benefiting the Central Indiana Community Foundation – a foundation that has received more than $1.3 million for children’s charities from the Indianapolis Air Show since the show’s inception in 1997.
